Continuity mistake: When the devil is falling apart and his 2nd ear falls off, he tells Nicky he cannot hear him, and asks the demon by his side who catches it to put it back on his head. But towards the end, when the devil is reduced to no more than a mouth and 2 arms, he is able to have a conversation with his demons about what's going on and hear them perfectly.

Plot summary
Directed by: Steven Brill
Starring: Adam Sandler, Harvey Keitel, Patricia Arquette, Rhys Ifans, Rodney Dangerfield
Little Nicky ( Adam Sandler) is the qorky son of the devil(Harvey Keitel), and is always being picked on by his two brothers in hell. The devil was deciding to retire, like his father Lucifier (Rodney Dangerfield), but at the meeting between his sons, he decides to stay on as the devil and not retire. The two sons are pissed off, since neither one will be the head devil now, so they decide to go through the wall of incoming souls and go back to earth. After they do, the devil literally starts to fall to pieces! So, he sends Little Nicky(Sandler) up to earth, so he can put his brothers into a flask that he gives him, and bring them all back to hell together. So, Nicky goes up to earth, immediately gets killed and comes back to hell. So, his father sends him up again. This time, Nicky meets a talking bull dog, who tells him that he's there to help him. He had some money for Nicky, but spent it on dancers. So, Nicky gets an appartment, and tries to find his brothers. In the mean time, his brothers posses the local mayor and a local priest, so they can bring hell up to earth and rule! Nicky also meets a young lady, played by Patricia Arquette(The Mediam), and they fall in love. He also befriends two stoners, who also help him out. He then meets his mother, who happens to be an angel (Reese Witherspoon), who tells Nicky that her and his dad had an affair at a Hell/Heaven mixer. After which, Nicky goes to the park, and ends up doing battle with his brothers for the fate of the world, with a little help from Ozzie Osborn.

Suggested correction: Its not clear that they are actually having a conversation, he is just a mouth and two arms that can only talk and hold itself up. They respond to him because he can hear but he doesn't even respond to them. Its not illogical that Satan was talking to himself while deaf and falling to bits.
Deacon: Why do you taunt me with your darkness? Your evil is stinkin' up our streets! The end is near! We are all gonna die.
Trivia: Jenna, the red-headed Angel, is played by Adam Sandler's wife, Jackie.
Question: Why do Nicky, Adrian and Chasias always stand on things that are hot? examples include: Nicky sitting on a barbecuer at the apartment, Adrian (as the priest) standing on a perfectly good pepperoni pizza (shame on him) and so on, so why do they stand on hot things?
Answer: They all grew up in Hell, so Earth is freezing cold to them.
